Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Backyard chickens.
They’re not for everyone. They function at about the level of a 4yo. 50lbs of feed will run you $20. If you’re fenced and let them roam, you use less feed. Straw. Mite prevention, which is food grade diatomaceous earth/powder. Water bowl heater for winter months.
Most municipalities allow for backyard chickens, 3-4. Roosters are another thing. They crow whenever they like and may hop/fly up where you don’t like them to be just to crow. I haven’t had issues with aggression, but they can be aggressive such that a posted beware of rooster sign will probably be believed.
Apartments can't chicken, renters can't usually chicken and a lot of cities don't allow chickens through most neighborhoods..
Reality of Murica.
Whatever your urban locale, look it up. The code may surprise you. Another one is backyard meat rabbits, but that one makes more people squeamish.
In my experience chicken enforcement is rarely a thing as long as you don't have a million and dont let them roam all over the neighborhood, just got to be smart. But roosters are a sure fire way to get your neighbor's angry so I would suggest never having roosters if you live in city limits unless your neighbors are real cool.
But that's just my own anecdotal experience
